Il y a 13 ans aujourd'hui, nous avons fondé SOS Primates. Depuis, nous avons principalement aidé le Centre de Réhabilitation des Lwiro Primates, CRPL, Lwiro Primates, qui héberge plus de 200 primates orphelins comme Félix, sur la photo...et qui est situé en République Démocratique du Congo, mais aussi les chimpanzés de Tacugama, en Sierra [...]

At SOS Primates, we believe in the power of helping each other. That's why we don't charge most of what we have sent to other recovery centers to help, or materials between the different support groups we have in our country. We need to transport a bag of material from Madrid to Barcelona so that [...]

We thank the organization @SemperVirens Mataró for the Tree Fair. They have always treated us very well. The fair took place in Mataró, province of Barcelona. We distributed information about the work we do at SOS Primates to help orphaned primates at the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, like Ushiriki, pictured. But without a doubt, thank you [...]

Sílvia Fernández founded Chikyhobbit in 2010. She handcrafts these unique sock monkeys, donating 15% of each sale to SOS Primates. Each one is different and one-of-a-kind!

A few months ago, the Barcelona Zoo donated all of its intercom equipment (walkie-talkies) to SOS Primates for technical and improvement reasons. Our NGO found a second life for them at a primate rehabilitation [...]

SOS Primates was at the Pallejà Fair and we want to thank everyone who visited our booth, the organizers @sosmaullidos, and our volunteer team for making it possible: Jose, Mònica, and Toni. Thanks to the donations we have received, we can continue our work supporting the CRPL, Lwiro Primates,, in the DRCongo, who shelter [...]
